David Davidovich Burliuk

David Davidovich Burliuk (Russian: Давид Давидович Бурлюк), a pioneering figure of the Russian Futurist movement, was a Ukrainian poet, artist, and publicist, born in 1882 in Semirotovshchina, Kharkov, Ukraine, and died in 1967 on Long Island, N.Y., U.S. Known for his eclectic contributions that spanned poetry, painting, criticism, and publishing, Burliuk's work was instrumental in introducing the Russian avant-garde to Europe and the United States. Despite having a lesser volume of work in poetry and painting compared to his contemporaries, Burliuk's knack for discovering talent and promoting it was unparalleled. He was among the first to publish the works of Velimir Khlebnikov and to recognize the genius of Vladimir Mayakovsky, significantly contributing to their renown.

Burliuk's artistic journey was marked by his involvement with the Futurist and Neo-Primitivist movements. His early work, including an exhibition with the group Zveno ("The Link") in Kiev in 1908 and his participation in the Hylaea group, set the stage for his later achievements. He was a co-author of the influential Futurist manifesto "A Slap in the Face of Public Taste" in 1912, advocating for a break from traditional art forms and the embrace of modernity. Burliuk's commitment to Futurism was evident in his publishing endeavors and his collaborations with notable artists of the time.

In his later years, after emigrating to the United States in 1922, Burliuk continued to engage with the art world, contributing to pro-Soviet groups and publishing his works and those of his contemporaries. His efforts were recognized in several exhibitions, including a significant show at the Brooklyn Museum's 1926 International Exhibition of Modern Art. Despite facing challenges, such as being denied permission to visit his homeland by the Soviet government, Burliuk's influence remained steadfast. His legacy as a central figure in Russian Futurism and his contributions to the broader art movement are celebrated to this day​​​​​​.
